Mildest climate, friendly people, good service, overall safety, warm sea and breathtaking mountains all come in one coctail in Montenegro (Crna Gora), and at a great discount

Locals live the lifestyle of retired millionaires in their villas, and yet the average income is said to be about EUR 300 per month.

Montenegro (Crna Gora) is reachable from most european hubs by Montenegro Airlines.
There are cars with US license plates here (not to mention all European countries from GB and Ireland to Russia and Belarus). Road police is friendly.

Practically every other villa in coastal areas is offered for sale, some as low as 60K euro including backyard. But local bank mortgage is not available to foreigners.
